THEN AND NOW: The cast of 'Downton Abbey'

"Downton Abbey" was a beloved period drama that had a good run, from 2010 to 2015, with a powerful ensemble cast. Now that an untitled film adaptation of the TV series is in the works — and a touring exhibit is making the rounds— we decided to take a look at where the show's many actors are now.

As Lady Mary Crawley, the eldest Crawley sister, Michelle Dockery portrayed one of the most dramatic character arcs of the series, going from a pampered, narcissistic girl to a mature, level-headed, independent woman.

She has since gone on to star in TV shows, including "Godless" on Netflix.

Since the show ended, she has starred in the ensemble movie "The Sense of an Ending," as well as two TV series, "Godless" on Netflix and "Good Behavior" on TNT. She is participating in the upcoming movie adaptation.

The venerable Dame Maggie Smith was pitch-perfect as Violet Crawley, the matriarch of a wealthy family holding to the old ways of society. Her witty one-liners brought much-needed humor to the sometimes-melodramatic show.

She hasn't been too busy since the show ended.

Smith's career has been relatively quiet since "Downton Abbey" ended, and she has certainly earned the right to rest on her laurels after winning two Oscars and four Emmys during her long career. She played a voice in the animated film "Sherlock Gnomes" and will be returning for the adaptation.

As Edith Crawley, Laura Carmichael was a bit polarizing on "Downton Abbey" — either you loved her or you hated her. She was an independent-minded woman who bucked tradition and sought a career for herself.
